November 2013 Ipsy Bag

I'm going to go out and say that this bag was absolutely over loaded with products! It was awesome! I have really been loving my Ipsy bags. Here is what I received in my bag this month!

Starlooks Gem Eyeliner Pencil in Topaz: This is a beautiful icy blue color. This color will be great for the Christmas season. I'm glad this was in my bag because I usually don't stray from my everyday brown, or purple, or black liners. This will help me to break out of that rut. I only swatched it, but it applied very smoothly. *This is full size.*

Pixi Beauty Bronzer in Subtly Suntouched: This is my first Pixi product! I have looked at Pixi products at Target, but never purchased before. I swatched this, and while it isn't overly pigmented, I think it will make a beautiful highlighter. It gives just enough sheen.

TRESemme' Tres Two Hairspray: I love this hairspray. and I love having the mini for travel! It has a great hold!

Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Champagne: I straight up love this color! It is a beautiful rose gold color with micro holographic glitter. It is a perfect winter neutral that has enough sparkle to it. This will also be great for the Holiday's! *This is full size.*

em Pillow Plush lip balm in Vanilla: This is by Michelle Phan. This is a potted lip product. The color is a beautiful neutral with micro, micro glitter. It gives your lips shine without feeling gritty. This does feel very smooth on the lips, and you could definitely use this as a tinted lip balm.

Be a Bombshell lipcolor in Hot Damn: This is a beautiful Christmas red lip crayon. This has slight glitter, but again, you absolutely cannot feel it on your lips. This does leave a slight stain behind.I envision using this with a matte neutral eye, some Pixi bronzer as a highlight, and this on your lips. It would be the most beautiful, simple look for the Holiday season! *This is full size.*

This month overall was a fantastic month for Ipsy. I think this is definitely worth the $10 a month!

What did you get in your Ipsy bag? I'd love to hear your thoughts, leave me a comment!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
